Quote by Judd Gregg

At least Obama was half-way honest about how much he was going to spend on health care. He had it at $600 billion. And the real number... is $1.2 trillion.

Summary

This quote appears to highlight the belief that former President Obama underestimated the cost of healthcare reform. The speaker emphasizes that Obama initially stated the expenditure for healthcare reform would be $600 billion, implying a level of honesty. However, the quote asserts that the actual cost, $1.2 trillion, doubles the initial estimate. The language used suggests criticism towards Obama, implying he was not entirely forthcoming about the true cost of the reform.

That knowledge humbles me, melts my bones, closes my ears, and makes my teeth rock loosely in their gums. And it also liberates me. I am a big bird winging over high mountains, down into serene valleys. I am ripples of waves on silver seas. I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
